LAHORE: Federal Minister for Law Azam Nazeer Tarar said on Sunday that Islam underlines the importance of education and cleanliness and no nation could excel without acquiring education.
Addressing convocation of Allama Iqbal Open University held at Idara-i-Nazaria-i-Pakistan here, he said he was honored to attend the ceremony and congratulated the students for completing their degrees.
He said, “The credit goes to teachers, parents, and Allama Iqbal Open University for producing such talented students.”
Azam Nazeer Tarar said being Pakistani it was a matter of pride for all of us that Allama Iqbal Open University had been established in 1974 as a first distance learning university in the region. “Education is a personality building instrument and it also refines a person.
An educated person or an educated mother contributes a lot to society besides helping rise standards,” he added.
